  4. Marinate at least 30 minutes, or in the refrigerator up to overnight. 
  5. Heat a large skillet over medium heat, and add the olive oil and butter. 
  6. Once the butter is melted, add the 1/3 cup garlic-ginger paste and Serrano peppers. 
  7. Sauté until lightly browned around the edges. 
  8. Add the tomato paste, and cook until the tomato has darkened in color, about 3 minutes. 
  9. Add the garam masala and paprika, and sauté for 1 minute. 
  10. Add the tomatoes, 1 ½ teaspoon salt, and 1 cup water. 
  11. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer, and cook until thickened, about 20 minutes. 
  12. Add additional water, as needed, depending on how much liquid the tomatoes release. 
  13. Heat the grill until hot; lightly brush with oil. 
  14. Shake off excess marinade, and grill the chicken until charred, about 2 minutes on each side.
